Cortisol Test

|
|
DHEA and cortisol are released into your
bloodstream from your adrenal glands when your body feels stress and
helps your body make the necessary adjustments to protect itself.
These two hormones help balance each other to ensure a stress
response.
DHEA is an anabolic hormone, a hormone that
affects the immune system, blood pressure, and sleep, among its many
functions. Cortisol is a catabolic hormone, a hormone that also
affects the immune system, blood pressure, and sleep. When your body
feels stress, cortisol is essential. Cortisol maintains and raises
your energy levels to assist your body during that stressful period.
Together, these two hormones work to provide your body with an optimal
stress response.
The BodyBalance Stress Hormone Test is a
safe, easy-to-use, and reliable test that uses a small saliva sample
to measure your levels of DHEA and cortisol - hormones vital to your
body's response to stress. This test provides the accuracy of a
laboratory analysis without you having to leave the comfort of your
own home.
When you order a BodyBalance Stress Hormone Test,
we'll send a complete kit to you. You collect the required saliva
sample and send it back to BodyBalance in the prepaid return mailer
provided. Within 7-10 working days of receiving your sample,
BodyBalance will send your results to you.
Comparing your
levels of DHEA and cortisol to the general population will help to
establish a benchmark for comparison. With this information, you can
work with your family physician to develop an appropriate program to
maintain and promote your good health.
